With the recent nerf to /scavenger it will be pretty tough to buy these from the vendor since they cost 1000 resources...so i hope this mission comes every week or two, like the raid missions.

Commento di Gnowone

Can anyone tell me if there is a mission requirement of some kind or some other quest/achievement that must be completed before this NPC will have these for sale? I have checked with him and he has nothing at all. Or has this been removed from the game?

If this works like other follower retraining items, you'll be able to use this on deactivated followers, but not followers who are currently on a mission. And you won't get a confirmation warning before it's applied, so click carefully! (A confirmation dialog box was added.)

List of exclusive Traits. Exclusive Traits "will not be assigned to a follower who already has another exclusive Trait."There are no exclusive Abilities.Example of an exclusive Trait: Alchimia. So if your follower already has one of these exclusive Traits, they will not gain another. However, since some of the exclusive Traits are NOT permanent, your follower may lose the exclusive Trait upon reroll.

Be careful, you can use this item on your follower and get the exact same abilities :-P

It's a stupid design, if you ask me.

I blew 3k resources trying to retrain Ahm. Didn't like the first ability reroll so tried again and it switched him back to his original set, arg. SO tried one more time and he got the same one as the first time I rerolled him. So perhaps there are only two choices and that's it.

These currently do not stack (first week of 6.1).

I really wish I'd read up on this item before getting it but it seemed very cut and dry to me. I used it, my dude 'dinged' and nothing changed. At first I'd thought the item had glitched so I came here before putting a ticket in or poking Orlyia at the forums in order to see if anyone else had this issue and if there was a quick reload fix or something. I'm glad I did to avoid the ticket queue but I'm very disappointed to learn that I just rerolled into the same abilities and that that is both common and intended for this item. Really not worth getting unless you are resource capped and don't care if your soldier gets a new ability or not.

A Blizzard GM just confirmed this item is currently known to be broken, confirming the observations of multiple users that it often makes no change to follower abilities, far beyond what random chance should allow.

My original ticket:

I used three on a single follower (Lin Tenderpaw) and three times in a row the abilities did not change.

Getting a duplicate ability combo once has a low but plausible probability (10% chance, assuming a uniform random distribution over the ten possible unique ability combinations available to that follower). However getting the same outcome three times in a row is far worse than is believable. If the space was truly uniform random, then getting the same reroll three times in a row should be a 1 in 1000 occurrence (0.1% chance) and I'm simply not that lucky.

The fact that multiple players are reporting this problem strongly suggests there is a bug at work here, or some additional restrictions on the possible reroll space that they are not telling us about.

This is the latest response from Customer Support:

Game Master Coranyto reporting for duty and i've just read about the troubles you are having with Lin Tenderpaw. There's tons of new changes that were just applied from our last patch so I can definitely see why you would reach out for help here and I've got some info for ya below.

Our developers are actually working on this as it is a bug with our latest patch. They should be close to having it fixed but haven’t' received word as to when a fix will be released. Typically with patch bugs like these, a hotfix will be pushed to address multiple things at once. I have gone ahead and added your information to the current bug report that we have so hopefully it will assist QA into discovering the problem and getting it resolved more quickly. ^_^

Sadly we are unable to intervene and provide XXXXX for players while the issue is being looked into, however I have included two websites below. The first being our developers Known Issues blog, and the second our Hotfix forum post! You can keep an eye on both of these websites for more information through-out the week as to what our Developers are working on and when they were fixed!

I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a fun rest of the week! If anything else comes up in the future, we're always happy to help out. <3

TL;DR: Blizzard confirms that the retraining items are bugged, and if you want to be safe you should save up any such items for later use after this bug is hotfixed.

I just bought one for 1000 this morning and in the afternoon Sergeant Crowler lists it for 2000. Is it a glitch or did Blizz raise the price?

Commento di Tipspid

Do not buy this item

Commento di Neci

I would like to choose my own ability. Not that I'm complaining on my Rogue. Everything is 100%. Still, would love to change abilities for my alts and make them like my Rogue. Random abilities can hurt you really bad as it did my Pally.

Commento di Casn

Remember that when rerolling Abilities for follower, those are selected only from those avaible not only to his class, but also to his specialization. Several followers, like Vincolatrice d'Anime Tuulani, in their default state have abilities that are not avaible to their specialization, so if you reroll, you lose those abilities for good.

Commento di Melandroso

I just bought one of these and it worked, so they have been fixed now. So go ahead!

Commento di iNeedRedCircles

WARNING: Still bugged. The CSR cumdump once again admitted it was a bug but at the same time said it's not a bug. Told me it can't message the devs, but I could.

@#$% this. I'm out.

Calling my bank, getting a reversal for the WOD purchase, just because.

wowhead has been great, but unfortunately it's impossible to play WOW anymore because of the massive ^&*!ery at blizzard. I hope wowhead is able to find some other game so they don't tank when blizzard does.

Testing to see if they were even *trying* to make this right, I submitted a ticket after my follower had NO change in ay abilities after using this item. The response I got:

"The Follower Ability Retraining Manual can be pretty tricky, since when rerolling, it doesn't remove the current trait and ability from being in the running again on the roll.

Especially when it comes to follower abilities and traits, since each follower has a very limited few available to them, it would be possible to not see a change if the reroll happened to land on the same stats again like that. But even so, it does seem super strange so I want to make sure QA has eyes on it just in case there's any funny business going on for it. I've gotten the same stats (a few times in a row no less) myself, which while technically possible based on RNG I suppose, doesn't seem all that likely. If everything's all in order, maybe it's something Dev could take a look at to change how it works so that it's no longer possible so we can get some better uses out of the rerolls!

I know this isn't really the best news given the amount of resources these guys cost, but I wouldn't be able to replace the manual that had been used. But hopefully we can hear more from QA before long to see what's going on with it and get a fix if it's indeed bugged or otherwise get a change on it from Dev if it's working correctly ; ).

If you have any other questions or need more help though, don't hesitate to reply to your ticket or open up a new one!"

So, basically, like so many other things in game, Blizzard knows it's a broken, useless item that costs way too much in in-game currency and really doesn't give a sh*t.

This is still broken! Tried it again tonight to see but it didn't work. Won't purchase any more; wastes too many garrison resources.

Commento di armrule

fixed in 6.2.3

Commento di Sumona

Used this thing seven times, abilities just swapped slots, didn't get new ones.. talk about 'rerolling' more like, retrolling.

Burned 7k Resource now.. great. A weeks worth of waiting.

Commento di AverageStalker

I feel like this thing pretty much always gives you a couple of the same crappy traits. I've used it 5 times now on leeroy jenkins and literally every time, he has the same 1 crappy ability that I have 11 of, and then it swaps out between 1 other very mediocre ability. I am sick of spending 1k resources on this piece of trash and will not be using it anymore. I wanted to warn anyone else thinking of getting good abilities from this- even if you get 1 good one, the other will be rubbish. You are better off recruiting new followers.

BUGGEDI've wasted 3000 resources on this item, and one "reroll abilities AND traits" special. NONE have changed 3 different character's "Sprint" ability to anything at all. (the usual, i have 4 sprints, no group damage mitigation, trying to ditch a sprint)

My Opinion is there's a marker somewhere saying some of these can't change. Which frankly makes the description false, and should be changed and refunds given, but no luck on that front (I HAVE tried via tickets. They say no very nicely, but still no :)

A simple fix would be to just give a "Cannot change that ability" message if there's a secret "no change" set rather than just taking the item, wasting the resources, and doing nothing at all.

And this isn't just a "rolled same ability", the odds of doing that 4 times in a row are laughably unlikely :)

Please fix this.

Next, because I'm either a glutton for punishment, stubborn or just plain dumb, I'm going to try to change the Other ability I have 4 of...
